Shen Sui couldn’t stay long on the Dawn Continent.
After feeling ntally exhausted, Shen Sui quickly withdrew his consciousness and returned to the real world.
[Qishala felt your departure and was slightly disappointed.]
[She nudged against you. But compared to Claude before, you now seem so fake.]
[This toy with Claude’s aura is no longer fun.]
[Qishala found it dull and tasteless.]
[She raised her head, looking towards the direction you truly left.]
[Perhaps, after the soul returns, she can use this path to see the real Claude.]
As expected, not only Andori, but actually Qishala also knew about Shen Sui’s state.
However, Qishala, your idea is sowhat dangerous.
The 15th-tier Star Abyss White Dragon is not sothing the real world can withstand.
But.... just coming over to take a look, without using power, should be fine....
The image of Qishala in her human form art from the ga appeared in Shen Sui’s mind.
However, in fact, compared to the beautiful human form of Qishala, he preferred the half-dragon form of Qishala, which had a unique flavor.
Under the premise of looking sowhat human, the less human, the more flavorful it was.
Alice didn’t know that Shen Sui had truly been here once.
She is now facing a dilemma similar to when Shen Sui first crossed over — she’s out of money.
Though Alice killed quite a few tyrannical nobles along the way through self-defense, she gave all those unexpected spoils to the nearby poor without reservation.
Of course, as a villager herself, Alice naturally knew that a sudden fortune is not always entirely lucky for an ordinary villager, so she helped these villagers in the na of Oshana.
Oshana Price, the Knight of Daylight, still has a lot of intimidation in these parts at least.
When Alice was by herself, such generosity was just that, for after all, one person fed, the whole family wasn’t starving.
But now, with a horse in her left hand, a dog in her right hand, a dragon beneath her, and her best friend behind her, she is in a state of dragging along family and friends, and apart from occasionally hunting, the whole family doesn’t have a stable inco or livelihood.
[After so precise calculation, Alice had to admit that with their current economic status, they couldn’t make it to the Elf Forest.]
[Alice decided to find a city to sell the gems in her ring, which were all obtained from Claude’s treasure box.]
[Alice was originally planning to use these gems to make friends.]
["Don’t humans have a profession called a rcenary?" Hali asked curiously, "I used to encounter such people, my children were always hunted by them."]
["You’re just a fledgling, stop with the whole ’my children, my children’ routine, okay?" Lingyi sneered disdainfully, "You’re the youngest here, yet you insist on acting mature."]
[Hali whimpered as she looked at Lingyi, if it weren’t for the fact that the other party was a dragon, she really couldn’t beat her, she would’ve bitten already.]
["Seems reasonable...." Alice seriously thought about Hali’s suggestion, after all her experiences along the way, if converted into rcenary tasks, would have brought a considerable inco.]
Shen Sui watched the girls’ interaction, even though he didn’t gain any Life Cards, glimpsing at them once or twice was still quite interesting.
Having crossed with his consciousness once, Shen Sui felt sowhat ntally fatigued.
He yawned and turned to go to sleep.
The night was exceptionally long.
Even in a sleepless city like Modu, in such a pitch-black night, there are always many shadowy corners.
"Is it already the third one?"
A boy lay dead in a secluded alley.
His eyes were wide open, his expression extrely pained, as if he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.
Scattered around his body were a large number of cards; these were not peripheral cards, but genuine Life Cards.
The boy seed to be a Life Card Master.
Wu Ziqin stood in front of the boy, frowning slightly.
There were no external injuries, nor signs of poisoning.
The coroner concluded that it was a sudden cardiac arrest caused by imnse ntal anguish.
Imnse ntal anguish...
The boy’s hands were empty, but his right hand was gripping, as if he had been holding sothing before his death.
Combining it with the Life Cards scattered everywhere, it wasn’t hard to guess that he was likely holding a Life Card and participating in a duel before his death.
But, would a Life Card Duel bring such imnse pain?
Wu Ziqin couldn’t imagine it, but he was very certain that similar incidents had happened more than once in Modu.
Initially, such cases were not under the Exploration Bureau’s responsibility, since the bureau’s functions were limited to the Soul Card World and Life Card Master system, but as such cases increased, given the identity of the deceased, the police noticed sothing unusual and imdiately reported it to the Exploration Bureau.
"His na was Wu Wanghai, a third-tier professional Life Card Master." An agent from the Exploration Bureau ca to stand behind Wu Ziqin, holding intelligence, "Tonight, he had an altercation with a man in black at a bar and thus proposed a duel invitation, after which he vanished. Like in the previous cases, his dueling device was stolen."
"Did the investigation on the cards dropped on the ground yield anything?"
"They’re all Life Cards from Wu Wanghai’s deck," the agent quickly said, "We collected them and compared them with the recent match registration records of Wu Wanghai, and most of the Life Cards are still there, except for..."
"Soul Card."
Without needing the agent to report, Wu Ziqin already knew the answer.
Similar attacks had occurred nearly five tis.
Three people dead, two seriously injured and comatose.
This was an extrely rare series of cases in Modu, and even in all of Huaxia.
What kind of thod did the opponent use to inflict such devastating ntal harm on the victims?
And by what ans did they escape the net of surveillance in the densely covered Modu?
Everything is a mystery.
The only thing certain is that the opponent targeted Life Card Masters to seize the dueling devices and their Soul Cards.
Once the dueling device is bound, it’s impossible to unbind and trade, even for the Soul Card of an immortal species, a blood-related kin is a must to inherit it.
For instance, the strongest Beast Taming System Life Card Master in Huaxia, An Hai, inherited his Soul Card from his deceased grandmother, An Run’en.
This act of snatching Soul Cards was sothing Wu Ziqin couldn’t comprehend.
Once the owner of the dueling device dies, if there is no suitable blood relative to inherit it, the Soul Card becos a re Life Card, losing its ability to switch forms.
What use is a snatched Soul Card then?
Wu Ziqin sensed a huge conspiracy hidden behind this.
"Which Soul Card World is Wu Wanghai’s?" Wu Ziqin asked again.
The agent imdiately checked and quickly provided an answer: "World No. 23."
Wu Ziqin murmured:
"Another Soul Card World with a fantasy background."
